I can't really describe this. You just have to read it. |
Did you know Gun Powder was originally created by the Chinese for the use of fireworks? Actually, it was discovered by accident when a group of chemists were trying to create an elixir of life. However, when they discovered what it could do, its first use was for the creation of firecrackers and fireworks. Gun Powder was CREATED to CREATE something good; something beautiful. Everything ever created in this world was created with good intentions. Nearly everything in the world has 2 properties: Creative properties, and destructive ones. Nearly everything on this Earth can be used to create or destroy. Gun Powder for example: You can CREATE fireworks for people to see and enjoy, or you can CREATE a GUN, and use it to DESTROY. Same with Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop was originally created as means to voice the struggles and concerns of urban youth through rhymes. It was a distraction and alternate means of survival of urban streets. Hip-Hop originally contained a POSITIVE message. However, there are some that flipped the card and used it to promote NEGATIVE images of violence, sex and materialism. As KRS once said: “Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC’s spit rhymes to uplift they people.” Hip-Hop was created as a tool to enhance the mind, and create a better understanding of one’s self. However, some used it for their DESTRUCTION. “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:22 When God spoke those words, he gave MANKIND the power to use knowledge to CREATE or DESTROY. With a knife you can create a meal, or destroy somebody. With your tounge, you can CREATE advice that could possibly change someone’s life, or you can spread a rumor which can DESTROY a reputation. With MUSIC you can encourage someone to do something meaningful with their life, or lead them to failure. It is YOUR knowledge, and what you use it for is entirely up to you. Create EVIL and DESTROY or yourself; or DESTROY what is evil and create a better you. |
